Forced off App
Subject: Critical Performance Regressions & Hard Freezes on iOS 16+(Business & Personal Impact) User Metrics & Environment: • Device: iPhone • Current OS: iOS 16.17.6 • App Version: Latest available build for iOS 16+ • Account Type: Multi-Account (Google Workspace / Personal Gmail) Feedback & Request: I am writing to request that the Google Chat team restore stability and backward compatibility for devices running iOS 16 and below. I use Google Chat constantly for both business operations and personal communication. While my hardware works perfectly across all other workflows, recent app updates have introduced a catastrophic regression on iOS 17-16 +. The app completely freezes—disabling all touch features, gestures, and scrolling. The lockup is so severe that it requires forcing the app closed or powering off the device entirely to recover. Key Issues Experienced: • Total UI Freeze / Touch Failure: The app completely stops responding to touch input or scrolling, forcing a manual app restart or device power-cycle. • Frequent Crashes: The application unexpectedly terminates mid-conversation or when pulling up background states. • Disrupted Workflows: These freezes cause immediate delays in client communication and disrupt day-to-day business operations. Impact & Business Justification: Forcing a hardware upgrade cycle solely to sustain basic messaging functionality is not viable when the device itself functions flawlessly. I strongly urge the engineering team to deploy a stability patch or establish a stable Long-Term Support (LTS) branch for iOS 16+ users to preserve accessibility for dual-use environments. Thank you for addressing this critical stability issue.

Pretty good but
Pretty good but the calling and texting are waay too quiet. A little buzz if you get a text would also be helpful, but still, it’s pretty good
